Gensokyo Detective, but surrounded by Shura Field

Soon, she arrived at Marisa's doorstep...

Chapter 22: Home Security Guard Marisa

*Knock knock knock.*

The knocking sound echoed.

Chu Bai groggily opened his eyes, the unfamiliar ceiling making him slightly disoriented.

However, upon seeing the sleeping Marisa beside him, he immediately realized where he was.

This was Marisa's house.

They had stayed up all night studying, and when they got tired, they simply fell asleep together on the sofa.

Yes, that made perfect sense...

Perfect sense my foot!

Wasn't this the classic 'caught in bed' scene from TV dramas?

Chu Bai quickly shook the sleeping Marisa beside him:

"Hey Marisa, wake up, someone's knocking!"

"Umm... ah..."

Marisa was still drowsy, murmuring in her sleep:

"Little Bai, your magicannon... so thick, so forceful, shoots so strong..."

"Get yourself awake already!"

Chu Bai directly pinched her cheeks, and under the painful pull, Marisa finally woke up.

"Ouch ouch ouch! What's happening?"

"Wait, Little Bai, why are you on my bed? Could it be that you've already done *that* to me?"

"Shh! Shh! Keep your voice down!"

Chu Bai frantically gestured with his fingers, and Marisa finally understood the situation.

The two of them, disheveled and sleepy-eyed, were together in the same room, and there were obvious signs of shared sleep on the sofa.

If someone saw this, they would definitely misunderstand!

Although both Chu Bai and Marisa were a bit rough around the edges, they naturally wanted to avoid misunderstandings of this magnitude.

So Chu Bai whispered to Marisa:

"I'll cast a soundproof barrier right away, and then we'll quickly clean up the scene to avoid being misunderstood by the person outside."

"Okay okay..."

Knock knock knock!

Before Marisa could answer, the knocking sound came again.

At the same time, a familiar voice entered the room.

"Marisa, open the door quickly, it's Alice."

"I made you some little cakes, hurry up and get up to try them."

What?

It was Little Alice!

Chu Bai's face turned pale on the spot, and his heart raced.

Alice was also a magician, and if he cast a soundproof barrier at such a short distance, she would definitely notice it.

Then he would really be unable to explain himself!

Knock knock knock!

Knock knock knock!

The knocking sound rang again like a death knell.

Accompanying it was Alice's muttering.

"Still not up this late?"

"Then I'm coming in, excuse me."

Crap? She actually had a key?

Hearing the sound of a key being inserted, Chu Bai quickly asked in a low voice:

"How does Little Alice have a key to your house?"

"Because we're very good friends, and I often oversleep, so I gave her a spare key!"

Marisa was also getting anxious.

Alice, her best friend, and her best male friend were together in the same room, and they still had the 'messy scene'...

If this was discovered, she would definitely die in every sense of the word!

"Anyway, you hide quickly!"

Marisa pointed to the second floor:

"Under the bed, behind the curtains, in the closet... just don't let Little Alice find you!"

"Of course, after all, this kind of thing is like getting yellow mud in your crotch, impossible to explain!"

Chu Bai scrambled towards the second floor.

Marisa also took a deep breath, calming her mood.

Finally, with the sound of the key turning.

The door to her house was slowly opened.

...

...

"Good morning, Marisa."

Alice, holding a cake, saw Marisa sitting on the living room sofa at a glance:

"Why didn't you open the door for me? I thought you were sleeping?"

"Ah, well, I was just about to open it for you."

Marisa chuckled, getting up from the messy sofa.

In the short few seconds, she only had time to erase the double sleeping marks on the sofa.

Alice looked at Marisa with some suspicion:

"What were you doing just now? Why do I feel like you're breathing so fast?"

"Ha, I heard your voice, so I rushed over to open the door for you."

Marisa explained with a smile, quickly picking up the kettle next to her:

"Come on, Little Alice, drink tea, drink tea..."

"Mm-hmm."

Alice picked up her teacup. Suddenly, she realized something and raised her eyebrows slightly again:

"Marisa, did you have a guest at your house just now?"

"Eh?"

Marisa shuddered, quickly saying:

"What makes you say that, Little Alice?"

"Because there are two teacups on your table, and they both have tea in them."

"I'm screwed...!"

Marisa's heart sank.

But she was indeed the Black and White Thief with a strong mentality.

Although she panicked for a moment, she quickly regained her composure.

Meeting Alice's gem-like eyes, Marisa began to lie as naturally as breathing:

"Actually, this is the tea I served to Rinnosuke yesterday."

"That guy came to my house last night and insisted that I stole his newly assembled top-of-the-line computer. Seriously, I didn't steal his stuff, I was just borrowing it, and I'll return it to him after I die."

Alice was a little embarrassed:

"So these are that otaku shopkeeper's teacups? Then please change my cup, I'm afraid of being infected by that otaku aura if I use a cup he drank from."

"Don't worry, Rinnosuke's cup is only used by him, and he washes it many times every time. After all, I also dislike him quite a bit."

Marisa said seemingly casually, but she had already shifted the topic quite naturally.

The so-called truth is mixed with falsehood, and Alice couldn't find any fault with this kind of reason at all.

Next, all she needed to do was taste Alice's little cake and send her away to get through the crisis!

This time, the advantage was on her side!

"By the way, this is the little cake I just baked today, it should be very suitable with black tea."

Alice handed the cake to Marisa and pushed the teacup over:

"Try it first, and if it's delicious, I'll give some to Little Bai too."

"Oh oh, okay."

Marisa didn't think much, picked up the cake and devoured it, then quickly drank the black tea.

As a result, she looked up...

She saw Alice walking towards the stairs, and was about to reach the second floor.

"Pfft!!!"

Marisa spat out the tea on the spot, frantically blocking Alice in front of her:

"Wait, wait a minute! What are you going to do, Little Alice!"

"Eh? Of course, I'm going to help you clean your room."

Alice tapped her finger, and a large number of dolls appeared from nowhere.

The little dolls scattered, holding rags and small brooms, flying towards the second floor.

"After all, you're too lazy to clean, so your house has always been cleaned by me, right?"

"Okay, hurry up and get out of the way, you can just eat the little cake downstairs."

She absolutely couldn't let her through!

After all, there was a terrible guy hidden upstairs!

Marisa was sweating profusely on the spot:

"That, that, Alice, how about we just skip it this time..."

"Nope!"

Only when it came to housework, Alice was quite strict:

"As your friend, I can't let you become dirty. Your personality is already bad enough, if you don't pay attention to hygiene, you really won't be able to marry."

No, I don't plan on getting married!

And even if the room is messy, I personally pay a lot of attention to hygiene, okay!

Marisa gesticulated anxiously, but couldn't think of a suitable reason for a moment.
